STUDENTS BANK ON
GAME DAY TICKETS
Shortly after the Cougars' victory over a top-
5 opponent, students found themselves paying
up to $200 a ticket for the Sept. 26 UH versus
Texas Tech football match-up.
The Athletics Department released 1,500
student guest tickets on Sep. 21 for $20
apiece and by 10 a.m. that morning the tickets
were sold out. Some students seized the opportunity to make a profit and began selling
the tickets for five times what they had paid at
the box office.
Kinesiology junior Ron Washington, sold
two of his extra tickets for $150 and said after
the grueling wait he did not feel bad for reselling his tickets at that price.
"The price may seem a little steep, but the
way I see it they're just going to go up the
longer they wait," Washington said. "They can
either pay to see it in person or they can watch
it on ESPN2. I stood in line for five hours. I've
been going to UH for two years, paying for
tuition and books, and if UH was in my shoes
they would do the same thing."
The Cougars ended up beating the Red
Raiders in front of a sold out crowd at Robertson Stadium by a score of 29-28.
Communication sophomore Alfredo Trevino, who arrived
at the Athletics/Alumni Center at 4 a.m., waited just
under four hours for his tickets. I Steven Oster
